Something underneath but here 3 00:03:41,98 --> 00:03:47,34 comes another Baker here comes another hundred cents here near contemporary here 4 00:03:48,15 --> 00:03:54,79 comes meddling with how one. Comes member five hundred ten here. Thank you. 5 00:03:56,49 --> 00:04:00,69 Years later. And the internet running 6 00:04:00,70 --> 00:04:04,24 a few minutes late and we're going to go ahead in stereo anything and they'll be 7 00:04:04,25 --> 00:04:11,04 joining us Councilman the county DA sometime. During that week to see how 8 00:04:11,88 --> 00:04:16,90 the deal with them is playing in. Our discussion 9 00:04:16,91 --> 00:04:23,08 a tense night in the sky. And I am. Going to try to know the city manager can step 10 00:04:24,02 --> 00:04:30,46 into. That I think you're going to see two elements gives here again 11 00:04:30,66 --> 00:04:36,69 giving presentations and educate every one of those medical marijuana laws and some 12 00:04:36,70 --> 00:04:43,57 of the changes so I'm sure the OK Now in this presentation oh fifteen 13 00:04:43,58 --> 00:04:49,42 minutes yes it's better to how quickly are taught to us and so it's like 14 00:04:49,43 --> 00:04:53,33 a presentation and we did submit it to City Hall so we're going to try for 15 00:04:53,34 --> 00:04:57,67 a result of this because some reason why it's all right in favor of how we were 16 00:04:57,68 --> 00:05:04,05 summarized several of them of course. At the question just what we know before you 17 00:05:04,06 --> 00:05:10,12 start any receipt you have to do this is this without also with the presentation 18 00:05:10,17 --> 00:05:16,96 for your information. Or oh we were to address but 19 00:05:16,97 --> 00:05:23,06 where I wanted Troy specifically were dressed asked to address two faces one is the 20 00:05:23,06 --> 00:05:29,82 . Growing operations. That are allowed under the. Medical Marijuana Act of 21 00:05:30,03 --> 00:05:35,69 two thousand and eight as well as the new commercial facilities that are allowed 22 00:05:35,70 --> 00:05:41,98 under the new law that was passed in twenty sixteen of the state license of. Course 23 00:05:41,99 --> 00:05:43,06 you have to start with 24 00:05:43,07 --> 00:05:48,66 a discussion about marijuana United States and I think this out because if you look 25 00:05:48,67 --> 00:05:50,61 at the room this is we spell marijuana with 26 00:05:50,62 --> 00:05:57,13 a jag but other medical marijuana laws spell it with age so it's it's it's it's up 27 00:05:57,14 --> 00:06:00,23 or spelling either way I just adore people who think I don't want to spell So 28 00:06:00,24 --> 00:06:03,35 sometimes you change it sometimes with 29 00:06:03,36 --> 00:06:10,25 a day but for appropriate spellings. Right marijuana 30 00:06:10,26 --> 00:06:14,74 is OK go under fire the wrong whether it's mother her brother writers every single 31 00:06:14,75 --> 00:06:20,25 medical model operation medical marijuana facility in the United States is 32 00:06:20,26 --> 00:06:24,84 a violation of federal law right now it's illegal to possess it is legal to sell it 33 00:06:25,20 --> 00:06:30,86 the legal to grow it all over the previous better administration has taken the 34 00:06:30,87 --> 00:06:36,17 position that it's largest the. People using medical marijuana comply with the 35 00:06:36,18 --> 00:06:39,65 state laws the prosecution this is not 36 00:06:39,66 --> 00:06:44,22 a high priority so in essence medical marijuana facilities are not being prosecuted 37 00:06:44,46 --> 00:06:44,61 but 38 00:06:44,62 --> 00:06:51,56 a lot of that it's time. Back to our twenty nine states that have authorized the illegal 39 00:06:51,57 --> 00:06:58,13 use of medical marijuana. Are A States including the District of Columbia actually 40 00:06:59,01 --> 00:07:05,96 they devised recreational marijuana. The main green. That's the best 41 00:07:06,00 --> 00:07:10,76 a person's brain that can is going to contain the marijuana is of course T.H.C. 42 00:07:11,61 --> 00:07:17,51 And the main way that it is in just in the human body is through smoking However it 43 00:07:17,52 --> 00:07:23,36 can also be adjusted throughout was going to marijuana infuse products coming on as 44 00:07:23,41 --> 00:07:30,40 edibles or miles. Next Friday our purpose is kind of to show you how the medical 45 00:07:30,41 --> 00:07:36,95 marijuana industry packages those. As you can see it looks like soda pop candy bars 46 00:07:36,99 --> 00:07:40,64 or fruit juice and that's 47 00:07:40,68 --> 00:07:46,27 a little scary sometimes especially when you're dealing with children. In Michigan 48 00:07:46,28 --> 00:07:50,03 as most of you know that in two thousand and eight a voter initiated 49 00:07:50,04 --> 00:07:56,16 a law was passed that allows for the medical use of marijuana the wrongs that 50 00:07:56,17 --> 00:08:00,85 actually make marijuana legal in Michigan what it actually says is if you are 51 00:08:00,86 --> 00:08:03,31 a registered patient or 52 00:08:03,32 --> 00:08:08,49 a registered caregiver your or under the other the yeah you're right I'm using for 53 00:08:08,50 --> 00:08:13,90 prosecution provided that you're involved with the medical use of marijuana of 54 00:08:13,91 --> 00:08:19,30 course medical use of marijuana also includes the growing of medical marijuana 55 00:08:19,31 --> 00:08:24,32 plants or one of the plants provided you comply with the number of plants allowed 56 00:08:24,33 --> 00:08:30,82 under under the law. And try sixteen the Medical Marijuana Act was 57 00:08:30,83 --> 00:08:34,16 amended. And the key there are there are 58 00:08:34,17 --> 00:08:41,13 a number of them that's but the most specific one was now under the one of act in 59 00:08:41,14 --> 00:08:46,61 Michigan those animals that I showed earlier those can now be used and that would 60 00:08:47,59 --> 00:08:52,17 be allowed as medical use of marijuana so in addition to the smoking the longer 61 00:08:52,18 --> 00:08:52,86 mission out 62 00:08:52,90 --> 00:08:57,91 a lot of the other posts be used for medical purposes others also some other 63 00:08:57,95 --> 00:09:04,11 provisions regarding how the marijuana has repackaged. And how it has to be tracked 64 00:09:04,78 --> 00:09:11,43 and OK there's some of that later on the presentation. I mean. 65 00:09:12,63 --> 00:09:18,42 The two thousand and eight Act even as amended a person who is registered as 66 00:09:18,43 --> 00:09:25,00 a qualified patient is allowed to have up to twelve marijuana plants however the 67 00:09:25,01 --> 00:09:27,00 person who is. Registered as 68 00:09:27,01 --> 00:09:33,83 a primary caregiver is allowed to have up to five patients. And what that means is 69 00:09:33,84 --> 00:09:39,46 a caregiver get to have programs for each of his or her patients plus an additional 70 00:09:39,52 --> 00:09:45,30 twelve plants if there are also patients so in essence under Michigan's medical 71 00:09:45,31 --> 00:09:51,02 marijuana law the caregiver can grow up to seventy two plants in one location and 72 00:09:51,25 --> 00:09:57,85 not be prosecuted. There are some limitations the plants have to be 73 00:09:57,86 --> 00:09:58,62 maintained in 74 00:09:58,63 --> 00:10:03,32 a separate post facility prices have to be in place to make sure the plants are 75 00:10:03,33 --> 00:10:08,95 going to be accessed by patients characters the law does allow outdoor throwing of 76 00:10:09,47 --> 00:10:15,59 plants but they have to because in our science and you must not be able to see the 77 00:10:15,60 --> 00:10:22,29 marijuana from adjacent properties. Michigan Minnesota 78 00:10:22,30 --> 00:10:28,30 nowadays cannot prohibit the grow operations of up to seventy two plants provided 79 00:10:28,31 --> 00:10:33,35 they comply with the and that make them bearable want to act there is 80 00:10:33,39 --> 00:10:38,63 a recent case that does indicate the city may be able to impose some regulations 81 00:10:38,74 --> 00:10:45,16 but we can't prohibit the seventy two crap operating operations. In Troy what has 82 00:10:45,92 --> 00:10:47,62 happened is a person were applied for 83 00:10:47,63 --> 00:10:53,72 a building permit and verified that their facility is such that they couldn't close 84 00:10:53,76 --> 00:10:59,48 up to several plants and if they can do that the program will be efficient but once 85 00:10:59,49 --> 00:11:00,17 a building from 86 00:11:00,18 --> 00:11:06,51 a position there really is no mechanism to ensure that the people growing very want 87 00:11:06,52 --> 00:11:13,32 are compliance with the state well. I think this is for Brown takes 88 00:11:13,33 --> 00:11:20,06 over. Yet not enough human resources. So treat complying with the Michigan 89 00:11:20,07 --> 00:11:23,53 Malcolm your one act we didn't need 90 00:11:23,54 --> 00:11:26,72 a tradition of their primitive my writing our high speed. So 91 00:11:26,73 --> 00:11:32,50 a district which stands for integrating cultural business. Me and me not. 92 00:11:34,42 --> 00:11:40,51 Care providers can grow it in residential settings However I want to point this out 93 00:11:40,52 --> 00:11:44,71 that we've got home occupation standards that make that would make it impossible 94 00:11:45,50 --> 00:11:46,83 for someone to establish 95 00:11:46,84 --> 00:11:50,33 a commercial group original it's just it's impossible to meet the standards because 96 00:11:50,57 --> 00:11:55,31 one what you want to recruit. In your home. Next life. 97 00:11:57,83 --> 00:12:03,17 As of December twentieth twenty sixteen we had fifteen go facilities in the city 98 00:12:03,70 --> 00:12:10,54 and compassing three buildings. Come back that no roof today would be higher that's 99 00:12:10,55 --> 00:12:15,06 going back to its last district that we have but I'm confident that the couple will 100 00:12:15,07 --> 00:12:21,32 be on. The rise higher for this department you're right. 101 00:12:22,46 --> 00:12:25,83 This is just going to be somebody who would respond to 102 00:12:25,84 --> 00:12:31,08 a twenty fourteen we call to service these areas these were the shopping 103 00:12:31,19 --> 00:12:37,95 residential areas. Next I made sure all the rest of the operation was shut down due 104 00:12:37,96 --> 00:12:43,65 to really cold Forth code violations I mean. You're not. 105 00:12:45,03 --> 00:12:51,43 Going to get do you. Recall the service for pro locations or did. Most of the 106 00:12:51,44 --> 00:12:56,09 things that we found reader they were in compliance with the seventy two plan which 107 00:12:56,10 --> 00:13:01,86 I just you can imagine how much they said if you plan to take up so in the end it 108 00:13:01,87 --> 00:13:07,41 will be. A good code violations. Class. 109 00:13:10,00 --> 00:13:12,12 Twenty six being a good good move without 110 00:13:12,13 --> 00:13:17,88 a little work in the commercial end of the marijuana are seeing more and more of 111 00:13:17,89 --> 00:13:24,65 the commercial applications. Are getting shut down some. Grow operations 112 00:13:24,66 --> 00:13:30,48 did not like either with. Cold war with with Billy Corgan with the Medical 113 00:13:30,49 --> 00:13:37,41 Marijuana Act So that's left. So just like this one didn't make the sign we 114 00:13:37,42 --> 00:13:42,37 can't can't do that correctional medical marijuana facility they were broken into 115 00:13:42,38 --> 00:13:47,89 WANT TO missile this list here the other one we just had on April eighteenth I'm 116 00:13:47,90 --> 00:13:53,86 not going to merge three Well you know in this case here in this sort of way to the 117 00:13:54,34 --> 00:13:59,96 county and not compliant medical marijuana Well Tanya not compliant Oh grow 118 00:13:59,97 --> 00:14:06,28 operation we didn't get to work on the yeah we need them there's really not time 119 00:14:06,29 --> 00:14:13,15 for the Medical Marijuana Act. And it will be one kind of or. He was 120 00:14:13,16 --> 00:14:18,93 a complaint however they were targeting for Dr marijuana so tired it broke into the 121 00:14:18,94 --> 00:14:23,33 building didn't really change anything it was a unique situation just less 122 00:14:23,34 --> 00:14:29,84 a still under investigation. For Truth. There's been numerous 123 00:14:29,85 --> 00:14:31,08 cases contributing 124 00:14:31,09 --> 00:14:35,00 a better camera want to involve We want to mention one in particular the Turpie 125 00:14:35,09 --> 00:14:40,71 case the city of Wyoming took the stance that many cities including the city are 126 00:14:40,72 --> 00:14:47,68 trying to. Grow operations were not allowed because it's only for the land use 127 00:14:47,72 --> 00:14:54,62 that's illegal undercover officer illegal orders only order it's. Mr Big 128 00:14:54,66 --> 00:14:58,79 challenge that on the butt of marijuana. And the case went all the way up to 129 00:14:58,83 --> 00:15:01,83 Michigan Supreme Court and the courts sort of 130 00:15:01,84 --> 00:15:07,43 a few things first the courts. The city or the it's the zoning ordinance which 131 00:15:07,44 --> 00:15:12,17 Priyanka by the Medical Marijuana Act because the city cannot protest but the state 132 00:15:12,18 --> 00:15:13,24 allows the state 133 00:15:13,25 --> 00:15:19,42 a last minute longer operate shins so the city can look up to that or the city of 134 00:15:19,43 --> 00:15:20,04 Wyoming made 135 00:15:20,05 --> 00:15:25,44 a nonstarter broke. The federal law for yonks the State Ball there are good that 136 00:15:25,45 --> 00:15:32,07 the. State law was unconstitutional violated the law was preempted by the Supreme 137 00:15:32,08 --> 00:15:33,36 Court found 138 00:15:33,37 --> 00:15:39,15 a way to say that no the brother right is not pretty on the state law with regard 139 00:15:39,16 --> 00:15:45,74 to keep provisions including the provisions relating to grow operations so of 140 00:15:45,88 --> 00:15:52,36 essentially Mr Trippi one of his case there was one matter that came out of that 141 00:15:52,37 --> 00:15:53,92 case that is how courts have in this 142 00:15:53,93 --> 00:15:59,93 a pal is the trophy case to say that the state law does not prove close 143 00:16:00,56 --> 00:16:06,47 off regulation of medical marijuana. Operation So that's something we're discussing 144 00:16:06,48 --> 00:16:13,33 a little later on in the presentation. As I indicated there were three new laws 145 00:16:13,34 --> 00:16:17,54 passed in twenty six chain relating to medical marijuana. 146 00:16:20,63 --> 00:16:25,35 One is the marijuana the sillies Licensing Act that allows the commercial license 147 00:16:25,36 --> 00:16:30,54 facilities which I'm not sure and the other is the marijuana tracking Act which is 148 00:16:30,55 --> 00:16:37,11 a law that requires the state to. Contract with the county that's capable of 149 00:16:37,12 --> 00:16:43,50 Margery off marijuana sales from seed to sale as well as being able to verify where 150 00:16:43,51 --> 00:16:49,94 the caregivers the quote life patients are. Either third new 151 00:16:50,23 --> 00:16:51,34 Rather was passed to 152 00:16:51,35 --> 00:16:54,91 a sixteen I've already discussed that was the amendment to the existing Medical 153 00:16:54,92 --> 00:16:56,70 Marijuana Act that allowed for the vote. 154 00:17:01,83 --> 00:17:08,66 Although of these laws were back to December twentieth of twenty sixteen the 155 00:17:08,70 --> 00:17:14,44 new commercial facilities allowed under the medical marijuana facilities Licensing 156 00:17:14,45 --> 00:17:15,85 Act cannot even apply for 157 00:17:15,86 --> 00:17:23,24 a license to the suburb fifteen twenty seventeen. The 158 00:17:23,25 --> 00:17:24,20 Act also creates 159 00:17:24,21 --> 00:17:29,76 a new board to monitor it of course. Poses taxes and fees some of which I'll talk 160 00:17:29,77 --> 00:17:31,93 for. Talk more about 161 00:17:31,94 --> 00:17:38,57 a few moments here. The new medical marijuana facilities Licensing Act authorizes 162 00:17:38,58 --> 00:17:44,07 up to five question licenses for these commercial facilities one is 163 00:17:44,08 --> 00:17:48,44 a grower and as I talk about this more all probably refer to this as 164 00:17:48,45 --> 00:17:53,01 a commercial grower just to distinguish it from the grower of the seventy two 165 00:17:53,02 --> 00:17:53,85 plants that's 166 00:17:53,86 --> 00:18:00,44 a lot of the medical marijuana processor safety compliance its facilities for the 167 00:18:00,45 --> 00:18:06,01 city center the secure transporter those are the five new types of facilities. That 168 00:18:06,16 --> 00:18:07,61 can feel out that they obtain 169 00:18:07,62 --> 00:18:14,28 a license from the state. A commercial grower under this new rack of the potato 170 00:18:14,29 --> 00:18:20,36 license we grow up to fifteen hundred clients in one facility depending on whether 171 00:18:20,37 --> 00:18:22,80 they're class a class B. Or Class C. 172 00:18:22,87 --> 00:18:29,13 Grower. The wrong provides that any commercial grower has to have 173 00:18:29,14 --> 00:18:33,57 a boy a registered caregiver with of these two years' experience 174 00:18:34,27 --> 00:18:39,04 a lot of those say these first broached must be in areas on right across your 175 00:18:39,05 --> 00:18:44,27 industrial use and there's a limitation on cross ownership so 176 00:18:44,28 --> 00:18:46,80 a big grower cannot also be 177 00:18:46,81 --> 00:18:50,60 a primary caregiver or have an interest in one of the other licensed facilities 178 00:18:50,61 --> 00:18:54,96 you'll see that with all the new facilities. You know I was going to give 179 00:18:54,97 --> 00:19:01,19 a pricey she says I can stay here at. The same type of do as 180 00:19:01,63 --> 00:19:06,08 commercial facility off president of the new acting processor processors 181 00:19:06,09 --> 00:19:12,31 a commercial activity that would actually be involved in extracting the resin from 182 00:19:12,35 --> 00:19:18,55 the marijuana plants to make the out of all products again those limitations on the 183 00:19:18,56 --> 00:19:22,74 cross or show the third type of course a facility that would be 184 00:19:22,75 --> 00:19:28,19 a lot of the new laws of the same people pious facility. And just as the name 185 00:19:28,20 --> 00:19:29,20 implies this is 186 00:19:29,21 --> 00:19:35,33 a facility that would actually cast medical marijuana. For purity here and also for 187 00:19:35,39 --> 00:19:42,39 some labeling Cartman's once again there's some crossover. To the 188 00:19:42,62 --> 00:19:44,43 worst type of facility 189 00:19:44,44 --> 00:19:48,82 a lot of the lack of accuracy provisioning Center which essentially is 190 00:19:48,83 --> 00:19:55,23 a. Commercial operation. That sells marijuana for profit 191 00:19:56,16 --> 00:19:57,40 it's sometimes referred to as 192 00:19:57,41 --> 00:20:02,80 a dispensary which is not allowed under the. Old Marijuana Act Under the new Act 193 00:20:02,81 --> 00:20:05,90 three entity obtains a state license as 194 00:20:05,91 --> 00:20:11,82 a provision etc they can so medical marijuana to qualify patients accuracy. 195 00:20:13,35 --> 00:20:16,92 And the facility allowed under the new Act if 196 00:20:16,93 --> 00:20:22,72 a license is obtained is it secure transporter which would essentially transport 197 00:20:22,73 --> 00:20:28,47 medical marijuana products from one license facility to the other this activity 198 00:20:28,48 --> 00:20:35,15 would also be able to store the medical marijuana. One of the 199 00:20:35,16 --> 00:20:40,83 things the new wrap around the police by the Saudis doesn't doesn't for those taxes 200 00:20:40,84 --> 00:20:42,05 and fees there's 201 00:20:42,06 --> 00:20:47,15 a three percent tax on the gross receipts of provisioning centers and when the 202 00:20:47,16 --> 00:20:48,57 state collects that there's 203 00:20:49,09 --> 00:20:54,92 a distribution formula for real which allows twenty five percent. To be returned to 204 00:20:54,93 --> 00:20:59,34 local municipalities but that only applies to them in the studies that actually 205 00:20:59,72 --> 00:21:05,54 have the license facilities and it is proportionate to the number of facilities 206 00:21:05,55 --> 00:21:11,35 that actually existed and because of knowledge. That new Act does also along in 207 00:21:11,36 --> 00:21:15,53 this county that has the license facilities to charge up to five thousand dollars 208 00:21:15,61 --> 00:21:17,77 a year Tory as 209 00:21:17,78 --> 00:21:24,62 a Ministre to the. Government the 210 00:21:24,63 --> 00:21:31,44 other new act of twenty's. Eckstein is the marijuana tracking Act It requires. The 211 00:21:31,45 --> 00:21:35,44 Department of licensing and Regulatory Affairs in the state to establish 212 00:21:35,45 --> 00:21:41,73 a monitoring system to track medical marijuana from seed to sell also be able to 213 00:21:41,74 --> 00:21:48,74 verify who the registered patients and caregivers are I'm sure the law I think we 214 00:21:48,75 --> 00:21:53,70 can add this to the slide but the law says that the system has to be in place 215 00:21:53,71 --> 00:21:56,30 within one hundred eighty days after 216 00:21:56,31 --> 00:22:02,59 a contract is awarded by the story just in the last week the state has selected 217 00:22:02,65 --> 00:22:08,67 track to be in Florida to. Be the tracking system for the state although the actual 218 00:22:08,72 --> 00:22:13,86 contract currently has that worked out but they selected the entity that would do 219 00:22:13,87 --> 00:22:20,69 the trucking. The other thing the medical marijuana 220 00:22:20,70 --> 00:22:24,05 facilities license that specific race is that even this is 221 00:22:24,06 --> 00:22:31,00 a power they does not have to allow the horse facilities to exist the only way. 222 00:22:32,96 --> 00:22:34,31 One of these new after these could get 223 00:22:34,32 --> 00:22:37,92 a commercial license from the state is if the city where they want to locate 224 00:22:38,03 --> 00:22:42,28 doesn't want it specifically not to you know indicating they're going to allow 225 00:22:42,29 --> 00:22:47,15 these facilities. There to. 226 00:22:50,74 --> 00:22:56,43 Give the city does choose to allow the. Facilities they don't have to allow all 227 00:22:56,44 --> 00:23:00,02 five tourist since they could allow one or two or three already 228 00:23:00,03 --> 00:23:06,67 a number of facilities that they choose to do so. Again if the business 229 00:23:06,68 --> 00:23:10,11 value allows that the facilities in charge of the five thousand dollars 230 00:23:10,12 --> 00:23:15,38 a year reach the syllabary. And the magician throughout the ordinance along the 231 00:23:15,39 --> 00:23:20,15 facilities the new law does allow the municipality to adopt 232 00:23:20,16 --> 00:23:24,06 a separate zoning ordinance that works to regulate where the facilities can be 233 00:23:24,07 --> 00:23:28,93 located as well as provide. Some other regulations but 234 00:23:28,94 --> 00:23:33,73 a minister they cannot regulate the purity or pricing of the medical marijuana or 235 00:23:33,74 --> 00:23:39,94 interfere with any of the statutory regulations. And this is why figure need to 236 00:23:39,95 --> 00:23:44,46 make is regardless of whether city the city allows 237 00:23:44,47 --> 00:23:50,26 a diversion facilities it really has no effect on the subject to prayer grow 238 00:23:50,27 --> 00:23:56,94 operations. If we choose to allow the. Course of this all these 239 00:23:57,44 --> 00:24:03,16 people still. Have the study to plan operations without life from the state or we 240 00:24:03,17 --> 00:24:08,20 choose not to allow the course of the Saudis the Saudi to plan operations still 241 00:24:08,21 --> 00:24:12,48 cannot prove that this will still be allowed under the Act that was passed two 242 00:24:12,49 --> 00:24:13,06 thousand right. 243 00:24:20,98 --> 00:24:27,14 Under the law establishing the worst facilities in the study does have some point 244 00:24:27,15 --> 00:24:33,75 requirements if they allow the facilities and there's that application received at 245 00:24:33,76 --> 00:24:38,78 the State level of the city has to provide certain information to the state putting 246 00:24:38,79 --> 00:24:45,18 its ordinates and any regulations. That Apply Plus the description of violations 247 00:24:45,19 --> 00:24:51,90 related to those organs by the particular application process the new board that 248 00:24:51,91 --> 00:24:52,52 decides whether 249 00:24:52,53 --> 00:24:57,16 a license should be issued may consider that or aeration doesn't say it has to say 250 00:24:57,17 --> 00:25:02,85 that information and that information that's untamed from applicant is exempt from 251 00:25:02,86 --> 00:25:09,43 the Freedom of Information that. Are carried through the city's options with 252 00:25:09,44 --> 00:25:14,64 regard to the traversal facilities one option of course is to do nothing if the 253 00:25:14,65 --> 00:25:17,17 city does not. Adopt 254 00:25:17,18 --> 00:25:23,91 a norm that's the commercial facilities. To God exist in the city. Again the city 255 00:25:23,92 --> 00:25:27,75 could out the ordinance along one or two. You are three or any number of the 256 00:25:27,76 --> 00:25:34,56 stories that chooses to do so. If the city doesn't. Allow ourselves the 257 00:25:34,57 --> 00:25:38,88 so is it limited to the types of the syllogism acknowledge so passes on the work 258 00:25:38,89 --> 00:25:43,87 that's as I've indicated which produce things like. The course of the Saudis be 259 00:25:43,88 --> 00:25:46,78 subject to special use of group of course require 260 00:25:46,79 --> 00:25:52,03 a public hearing but again as I've indicated in this valley cannot pass any 261 00:25:52,04 --> 00:25:57,30 regulations that would conflict with the state law. I can tell you where the city's 262 00:25:57,31 --> 00:26:04,12 options. Yes. The city chooses stop our 263 00:26:04,65 --> 00:26:10,90 commercial the Saudis based on the Derby case I just mentioned earlier it's our 264 00:26:10,91 --> 00:26:17,04 opinion the city can still adopt regulations relating to the smaller cities the 265 00:26:17,05 --> 00:26:23,39 seventy two. Plan facilities such as the structure requirements maybe for medical 266 00:26:23,40 --> 00:26:27,88 licensing requirements. And so on and so forth. 267 00:26:32,43 --> 00:26:37,13 Again this is applying to the grow operations of the subject to pressure the Saudis 268 00:26:37,14 --> 00:26:39,78 the city could offer without resorting worth of it's 269 00:26:40,65 --> 00:26:44,44 a matter that the money in those growth facilities to certain areas or require 270 00:26:44,45 --> 00:26:49,15 special land use but I should point out. As you're aware there are some Groff 271 00:26:49,16 --> 00:26:55,01 ration in the city already is going on then that would not tied to the existing 272 00:26:55,10 --> 00:27:00,70 facilities because those facilities would be did not perform use of the zoning law 273 00:27:00,70 --> 00:27:05,48 . But it's our opinion we can't pass the licensing ordinance requiring 274 00:27:05,49 --> 00:27:11,42 a city license or city program that would require inspections. As 275 00:27:11,43 --> 00:27:15,99 a condition of approval make sure this ties to the state law and that would apply 276 00:27:16,00 --> 00:27:18,40 even if you just read the stories because I would be 277 00:27:18,41 --> 00:27:24,50 a police power regulation which anyhow saved welfare regulations such as 278 00:27:24,51 --> 00:27:29,60 a licensing ordinance could be. Apply pressure to the existing facilities as well 279 00:27:29,61 --> 00:27:34,81 as join you grow up ration stats. Are an issue in the city. 280 00:27:38,15 --> 00:27:44,33 Now right when we want to do commercial facilities. Because it reflects the 281 00:27:44,34 --> 00:27:51,16 attitude of. The majority of the residents who approve medical marijuana. It does 282 00:27:51,17 --> 00:27:51,36 have 283 00:27:51,37 --> 00:27:56,75 a potential to focus production to specific areas as I indicated if we allow the 284 00:27:56,76 --> 00:28:01,60 commercial facilities we can have so many regulations limiting them to specific 285 00:28:01,61 --> 00:28:08,26 areas for the health food for off or for to monitor. Because of the 286 00:28:08,67 --> 00:28:12,64 three percent tax that you should have this is how these two five thousand dollars 287 00:28:12,75 --> 00:28:18,44 piece along with person to slow things could bring money in for the city. They 288 00:28:18,45 --> 00:28:24,28 create new jobs. They could provide 289 00:28:24,29 --> 00:28:29,71 a need in the community by access to medical marijuana people who are really in 290 00:28:29,72 --> 00:28:35,75 need of the medical marijuana for the debilitating pain or worse of other medical 291 00:28:35,76 --> 00:28:41,30 conditions. These are the reasons why the city might not want 292 00:28:41,31 --> 00:28:48,20 a lot of the commercial facilities one is the cost to force as 293 00:28:48,21 --> 00:28:53,19 Russ indicated just with the smaller operations. There's 294 00:28:53,28 --> 00:28:58,80 a lot of police contact if you start allowing these large portion the Saudis it 295 00:28:58,81 --> 00:29:01,21 would involve a lot of coaching Foresman as well as 296 00:29:01,22 --> 00:29:08,19 a place. Of responses another reason we may not wish to allow 297 00:29:08,20 --> 00:29:13,06 the worst of the stories is again that could result in an increase in crime. 298 00:29:15,06 --> 00:29:19,03 People break into the strong the Saudis if you have these larger facilities were up 299 00:29:19,04 --> 00:29:21,56 to fifteen hundred plants are growing there's 300 00:29:21,57 --> 00:29:28,44 a likelihood that there could be an increase crime. With people trying to obtain 301 00:29:28,45 --> 00:29:34,77 marijuana for reasons other than medical use. Some other 302 00:29:34,84 --> 00:29:41,72 considerations. One of the theories we have this to why so many 303 00:29:41,93 --> 00:29:47,39 medical marijuana grow operations has actually started in Troy is because we 304 00:29:47,40 --> 00:29:53,01 believe some of the activities. Around his bed in the city might allow commercial 305 00:29:53,02 --> 00:29:57,86 facilities and so they're starting up the smaller facilities with the hope that if 306 00:29:57,87 --> 00:30:03,16 we allow that person the Saudis they could just experiment facilities if the city 307 00:30:03,17 --> 00:30:06,77 chooses not to allow commercial facilities the theory is 308 00:30:06,78 --> 00:30:09,67 a lot of those may be relocated so they do 309 00:30:09,68 --> 00:30:15,63 a lot for cities or do without persons so it's another consideration is that if you 310 00:30:15,64 --> 00:30:17,87 are aware of. What 311 00:30:17,88 --> 00:30:23,92 a national really are it is still illegal to have medical marijuana under federal 312 00:30:23,93 --> 00:30:29,65 law if the new administration decides to start forcing federal law then there would 313 00:30:29,66 --> 00:30:34,47 be of course no one allowing medical marijuana facilities in Troy because it all 314 00:30:34,48 --> 00:30:39,94 the prosecutor on the other hand of the federal law policy has changed in the 315 00:30:39,95 --> 00:30:44,40 Michigan voters approved recreational use of marijuana than that that could have 316 00:30:44,41 --> 00:30:50,86 effect on medical marijuana facilities as well. As all that. 317 00:30:52,63 --> 00:30:58,41 We have some specific recommendations. Our first recommendation is that city 318 00:30:58,42 --> 00:31:03,74 specifically opt out of allowing the commercial facilities under the medical 319 00:31:03,75 --> 00:31:10,69 marijuana facilities licensing. With regard to the. Submarine to find 320 00:31:10,70 --> 00:31:14,34 operations a lot of the better of marijuana it's 321 00:31:14,35 --> 00:31:16,60 a recommendation to the city issued 322 00:31:16,61 --> 00:31:21,73 a moratorium on issuing new apartments where one hundred eighty day period to allow 323 00:31:21,74 --> 00:31:25,44 the city to consider some regulations that would be 324 00:31:25,45 --> 00:31:30,95 a put the word to. The the those groups are so. Also rather reposting 325 00:31:31,16 --> 00:31:36,44 a meeting with some of the building owners contractors cure your worst currently 326 00:31:37,08 --> 00:31:38,21 that have to grow up or 327 00:31:38,22 --> 00:31:43,83 a chanst to educate them on the law that we're considering passing as well as to 328 00:31:43,84 --> 00:31:49,75 play voluntary it's up to inspect their facilities to see if their compliance with 329 00:31:49,84 --> 00:31:56,79 the yeah. They also recommend buying other consult the structure of the stock 330 00:31:56,80 --> 00:32:02,82 three hour basis and they want to. Direct the dish to real value provision or other 331 00:32:02,83 --> 00:32:07,27 goods and indicating that he's the current through operations are violating other 332 00:32:07,28 --> 00:32:12,86 Kirkwall that we see search words have crossed you appropriately. 333 00:32:16,47 --> 00:32:22,97 Question. Stronger than the actual meaning 334 00:32:23,89 --> 00:32:30,74 just tell me what I was representing the city where. You were able to get care 335 00:32:30,78 --> 00:32:34,43 to.

So. We're going to be. 350 00:34:02,75 --> 00:34:04,09 Going to Washington D.S. 351 00:34:04,10 --> 00:34:09,03 Engine plan operations that are not in the city or in the world they are from it 352 00:34:09,04 --> 00:34:13,41 and so we know we were there all of them are we go where they are based on the go 353 00:34:13,42 --> 00:34:17,85 to the right of the grid. And she had 354 00:34:17,86 --> 00:34:24,85 a question for us to then. When stuck with to break in so we headed 355 00:34:24,91 --> 00:34:30,37 up what is in your opinion what if they steal anything what were they looking. For 356 00:34:30,38 --> 00:34:32,02 the first one they have up she stole 357 00:34:32,03 --> 00:34:36,25 a lot of their own Well they do get so many what we believe that they were looking 358 00:34:36,35 --> 00:34:41,60 the players that were there were still gushing so they were ready for you shit I 359 00:34:41,61 --> 00:34:44,45 was so that's always you know we still don't know whether it was 360 00:34:44,46 --> 00:34:51,16 a competitor break it is now that. They're gay still it us the 361 00:34:51,17 --> 00:34:52,95 Asians know they're great off just 362 00:34:52,96 --> 00:34:59,50 a great thing. The question is for staff 363 00:35:00,33 --> 00:35:04,23 comes from sending her letters actually wrote 364 00:35:04,24 --> 00:35:09,52 a statement you know I'm. A little conflicted in this because I know it's kind of 365 00:35:09,53 --> 00:35:14,80 coming our way but you know I have I would prefer nothing ever coming to the city 366 00:35:14,81 --> 00:35:20,50 borders and looking at the presentation of the emotion and also looking at some 367 00:35:20,51 --> 00:35:25,98 some of the things we're distributing to surrender. If we if we opt out. 368 00:35:28,34 --> 00:35:28,67 Is that 369 00:35:28,68 --> 00:35:32,88 a firm No no I mean we opt out nobody can come in here and your business where is 370 00:35:32,89 --> 00:35:37,12 that not the case because I've seen about fourteen different options of what could 371 00:35:37,13 --> 00:35:43,03 happen so if we opt out there's no way we can. Operate any of the commercial 372 00:35:43,04 --> 00:35:49,22 facilities that of the five person the soul is allowed under the state law. That 373 00:35:49,23 --> 00:35:53,94 requires a list from the state OK but it does not. Provide 374 00:35:53,95 --> 00:36:00,23 a smaller operations because it's water operations under the water do so where 375 00:36:01,10 --> 00:36:05,73 does that work license from state to and I think so then housing out there what 376 00:36:05,74 --> 00:36:09,44 happens to the to the few that are here already if we if we out down they can still 377 00:36:09,45 --> 00:36:16,32 remain their grandfather to go there or they can still remain because 378 00:36:16,73 --> 00:36:22,60 we here prohibit them. Right we cannot although like that or the good of you may be 379 00:36:22,61 --> 00:36:27,96 able to force some regulations. That are not really grandfathered they're already 380 00:36:27,97 --> 00:36:33,82 allowed under the state law here so your recommendation to first almost opt out. 381 00:36:34,99 --> 00:36:38,41 But and that doesn't necessarily fix the problem in my book it doesn't fix the 382 00:36:38,42 --> 00:36:44,45 problem so but I think in the end when allow us to make. Head heavy ordinance that 383 00:36:44,46 --> 00:36:48,75 would apply to the ones that exist here we could do that whether we ought to enter 384 00:36:49,29 --> 00:36:55,41 the if we are here. If only relates to the new commercial facilities it really has 385 00:36:55,42 --> 00:37:00,27 no effect to what we could do with regard to the facilities that are here we can 386 00:37:00,52 --> 00:37:05,88 it's are good in the east of the trip because we hear the doctor regulations that 387 00:37:05,89 --> 00:37:11,36 are critical to the smaller operations but here prohibit them as long as they 388 00:37:11,37 --> 00:37:17,35 comply with the state law we cannot do so opting into for opting out still allows 389 00:37:17,76 --> 00:37:24,04 the smaller ratios to come down and to do the sort of the better scrub oak and we 390 00:37:24,05 --> 00:37:27,53 can really talk about you know that's really do. The grow operation we didn't talk 391 00:37:27,54 --> 00:37:33,96 really but the the the retailer the other four legs of the business right broke 392 00:37:34,64 --> 00:37:39,28 under the Michigan letter where I was passed and she goes away there is no reason 393 00:37:39,29 --> 00:37:44,52 to go out diskettes Ruiz are not allowed if you hear that term over the scale of 394 00:37:44,53 --> 00:37:49,28 this which is probably tough but riddles are illegal. The only way you could 395 00:37:49,41 --> 00:37:53,62 actually have it destroy the cells other marijuana now is if they get 396 00:37:53,63 --> 00:37:59,42 a license of the viewer. And then the spell of the allows that OK and then 397 00:37:59,43 --> 00:38:04,60 a question on that is my understanding if we if we don't not get your get we out 398 00:38:04,64 --> 00:38:07,42 our anybody intro it could not apply for 399 00:38:07,43 --> 00:38:14,33 a license to the state is that correct or not correct. The. Right 400 00:38:14,34 --> 00:38:19,02 not to review with the actual statute says that they can't the license cannot be 401 00:38:19,03 --> 00:38:23,69 granted if they apply for that they would like the state in the state notifies us 402 00:38:23,85 --> 00:38:28,54 we don't have to work that's the state will grab the license so the only way we're 403 00:38:28,55 --> 00:38:34,68 reversing facilities can exist Troy is of Troy allows us specifically allows more 404 00:38:34,69 --> 00:38:40,73 of them by working OK and then in some so they're If we add in that to make more 405 00:38:40,74 --> 00:38:45,45 and that's that would. Greatly appreciated restrain we know where you're going to 406 00:38:45,46 --> 00:38:51,64 go with after those upper right. To remove the somebody else. 407 00:38:52,83 --> 00:38:58,41 Comes in to the shed. And lot of thoughts you know when you talk tough more about 408 00:38:58,42 --> 00:39:04,82 the scene is wrong because. He said in your opinion and trust me and I'm telling 409 00:39:04,89 --> 00:39:10,17 you this long I think that I DO THAT TO ME case we could try to put some 410 00:39:10,89 --> 00:39:16,46 restrictions on the existing So I need to point out to all the yes that's our work 411 00:39:16,51 --> 00:39:22,97 to do to be VERY says pretty general though it's not specific so. We're not. 412 00:39:25,21 --> 00:39:30,56 Broke. It's up in the week or so regulations what those regulations are we probably 413 00:39:30,57 --> 00:39:30,85 would do 414 00:39:30,86 --> 00:39:36,56 a little more research before you. Do all right that was my question we have any 415 00:39:36,57 --> 00:39:41,44 other municipalities done this and challenges here in New Jersey cases where there 416 00:39:41,45 --> 00:39:46,67 are no this is how it is and how the licensing inspection requirements as far as 417 00:39:46,68 --> 00:39:51,06 that that we have those have been challenges I don't believe so you at least know 418 00:39:51,13 --> 00:39:52,09 no polish cases. 419 00:39:58,37 --> 00:40:05,27 Right now. Because when I'm hearing and just hung up 420 00:40:05,43 --> 00:40:11,71 moratorium that one of the recommendations. Now has I mean by that I 421 00:40:11,72 --> 00:40:18,47 mean I think you mean. How are the moratorium. Is. 422 00:40:19,64 --> 00:40:24,32 This how it's generally have been allowed to pass moratoriums as long as there's 423 00:40:24,33 --> 00:40:28,46 a good reason for doing so the city cannot just for 424 00:40:28,47 --> 00:40:35,45 a moratorium forever but there have been work forums that have. Stopped 425 00:40:35,46 --> 00:40:41,57 the issuance of permits for various land uses to allow this county to develop 426 00:40:41,92 --> 00:40:47,77 regulations for the whole secure world for all of all of this valley this residence 427 00:40:47,77 --> 00:40:53,96 . So you have to justify them or work toward them because if you don't then the 428 00:40:53,97 --> 00:40:58,89 challenge is your take on the property without due process so moratoriums of it up 429 00:40:58,90 --> 00:41:02,68 how about it works very strenuous cases the city has to have 430 00:41:02,69 --> 00:41:09,59 a good reason to do it in time when. The market isn't specifically say 431 00:41:09,60 --> 00:41:13,67 a time limited but if there is no time limit it will be with the subject which I'll 432 00:41:13,67 --> 00:41:19,77 . Stop. 433 00:41:22,07 --> 00:41:26,56 Her from going to work if you have any questions before that country. You have 434 00:41:26,68 --> 00:41:33,30 questions swirling creatinine articulate. Any interesting issue for I mean there's 435 00:41:33,31 --> 00:41:34,80 going to be more and would that be 436 00:41:34,81 --> 00:41:41,73 a good reason then to go to the real position we hear people live that are 437 00:41:41,74 --> 00:41:45,98 last seen that said and done billions during increased crime so I'm sure that you 438 00:41:45,99 --> 00:41:51,28 know they would it would be on our side that marijuana grow facilities would. Go. 439 00:41:53,19 --> 00:42:00,08 To my first thought here if you have coming. In and I don't know 440 00:42:00,09 --> 00:42:06,48 that anybody has the answer but here we are just like. Hanging over our heads what 441 00:42:06,49 --> 00:42:12,31 the new administration is telling Tanner is going to be. Do we have an indication 442 00:42:12,48 --> 00:42:19,42 that. We know the new attorney general pose to medical marijuana 443 00:42:20,32 --> 00:42:27,06 but as far as what actions he's going to take the we are opposed to the. Goal here 444 00:42:27,12 --> 00:42:33,84 to really go forward. Some from the federal level where. It's almost as if we need 445 00:42:33,85 --> 00:42:40,83 to set. That aside as we make our decisions and what we struggle through here could 446 00:42:40,84 --> 00:42:44,71 end up getting up and coming out regularly about why we voted as one of the 447 00:42:44,72 --> 00:42:49,74 considerations that's real low but whom are one of the stories I was of the other 448 00:42:49,75 --> 00:42:55,30 go in search prosecutors know. There's there was no reason to slaughter the law in 449 00:42:55,31 --> 00:42:56,82 the first fourth OK. 450 00:43:03,19 --> 00:43:09,58 I'm just talking top of my head that. Just seems. That we should do 451 00:43:09,59 --> 00:43:16,29 a moratorium could you do nothing. That we should be first 452 00:43:16,66 --> 00:43:23,65 focusing on the in the news to go over. What we have already because whether we 453 00:43:23,66 --> 00:43:28,85 are going to be opt out we still want. No problem doing so it seems to me that's 454 00:43:28,86 --> 00:43:32,36 the first thing we should be working on this is 455 00:43:32,37 --> 00:43:39,36 a local ordinance to go to go live to seventy two. We have more we want to 456 00:43:39,40 --> 00:43:44,62 see like Kashmir for recently. Because you got to do it in your. Own. 457 00:43:47,04 --> 00:43:50,51 Mind wash out the federal government is that we should never rely on the federal 458 00:43:50,52 --> 00:43:57,49 government to. Arm made our decisions for us going down that's 459 00:43:57,50 --> 00:44:04,26 my bridge wash on the for the on. Our own. And just my 460 00:44:04,27 --> 00:44:09,06 third thought. Going into this is that there seems to still be 461 00:44:09,07 --> 00:44:15,06 a lot of questions out there. And it seems to me that if we do the moratorium you 462 00:44:15,07 --> 00:44:20,60 start focusing on getting an ordinance in place that we are going to do anyways 463 00:44:21,27 --> 00:44:22,51 that I think is 464 00:44:22,52 --> 00:44:28,13 a lot more information than I needed to live and listening to visit I have visited 465 00:44:28,13 --> 00:44:34,94 . Two operations in Detroit. I'd like to visit more I'd like to talk to 466 00:44:34,95 --> 00:44:41,66 more like to you that there is from my personal I. I don't I I would like to wait 467 00:44:41,73 --> 00:44:44,65 to opt in or opt out on my that's 468 00:44:44,66 --> 00:44:51,60 a. Cost. And the other thing 469 00:44:51,61 --> 00:44:54,72 they're. In the fight down there is 470 00:44:54,73 --> 00:45:00,98 a statement that said that. Proceeding with opting in with something anything to 471 00:45:01,05 --> 00:45:03,85 maturity and rights was wondering whether there was 472 00:45:03,91 --> 00:45:08,94 a stuff that's too early to gain or to ask. You on the years 473 00:45:08,95 --> 00:45:14,92 a judge to stay through the issue residents of the Kumara want to juggle and that 474 00:45:14,93 --> 00:45:19,45 was the journalistic. Sits in the drawer the residents go to the medical world war 475 00:45:19,46 --> 00:45:19,89 with 476 00:45:20,44 --> 00:45:26,98 a lower work system but the world would be consistent with that job. So let's just 477 00:45:27,45 --> 00:45:34,08 stop just you know with. The order of. The week. 478 00:45:38,79 --> 00:45:41,11 I think you know that there's a 479 00:45:41,26 --> 00:45:47,99 a need. For medical marijuana in certain cases right servants or 480 00:45:48,00 --> 00:45:52,14 diseases that sort of thing and I've seen it myself I've heard stories read in the 481 00:45:52,15 --> 00:45:56,34 papers so I understand that there's there's at each other when you see the the 482 00:45:56,35 --> 00:46:01,11 picture of the the medals you know the last I mean is that every piece station you 483 00:46:01,12 --> 00:46:07,59 know. Medals hanging on the shelves I do not I don't completely she doesn't go that 484 00:46:07,60 --> 00:46:11,10 route but you know it seems more and more likely that that's probably direction of 485 00:46:11,27 --> 00:46:17,10 the state and the country is only going which is unfortunate but that said I don't 486 00:46:17,11 --> 00:46:22,98 think that we you know Troy needs to be the place that people go to grow marijuana 487 00:46:22,99 --> 00:46:27,17 I mean it's you know had to grow corn fields up north that you know that's kind of 488 00:46:27,18 --> 00:46:27,67 more of 489 00:46:27,68 --> 00:46:32,26 a simplistic view but you know why we have to have it in our best real section here 490 00:46:32,30 --> 00:46:37,14 Troy and that that I would rather see machine shops open and that sort of thing 491 00:46:37,63 --> 00:46:42,83 bring revenue into those those those areas so the revenue aspect and job aspects of 492 00:46:42,84 --> 00:46:46,96 this you know that means almost nothing to me and that the revenue in jobs don't 493 00:46:46,97 --> 00:46:51,47 mean something but in this industry I just can't get my arms around it so that's 494 00:46:51,48 --> 00:46:55,25 kind of my motivation for I'm doing whatever we can really really tighten this up 495 00:46:55,72 --> 00:47:00,33 and the operations we have here how do we. Have in 496 00:47:00,34 --> 00:47:02,77 a few years old so let's say that we put 497 00:47:02,78 --> 00:47:07,78 a moratorium on it and we talk about this we tighten up restrictions how do we make 498 00:47:07,79 --> 00:47:12,01 it so that our police officers can go in randomly and and check these things out 499 00:47:12,02 --> 00:47:15,54 and you know in that announced you know they were coming in and we clean up your 500 00:47:15,55 --> 00:47:19,58 act you know I'm not going to do or never knew that it would be 501 00:47:19,59 --> 00:47:25,25 a condition of whatever the proper license would require that allow. 502 00:47:26,56 --> 00:47:33,35 It's and so in order to keep their permit under the city ordinance that we pass 503 00:47:33,74 --> 00:47:39,74 they would have to allow. Periodic inspections were periodic means probably 504 00:47:39,75 --> 00:47:44,97 a work of that but that would be how it would be forcibly expection if they want to 505 00:47:44,98 --> 00:47:48,77 keep their permit they would have to allow the inspection that they don't allow the 506 00:47:48,78 --> 00:47:49,86 inspection that would be 507 00:47:49,87 --> 00:47:54,20 a violation that could be prosecuted. And get prosecuted as 508 00:47:54,21 --> 00:48:00,15 a system either work or civil Russia those are the real discussed as we try to 509 00:48:00,55 --> 00:48:06,80 formulate your and further now and then it is there is there way the city can make 510 00:48:07,44 --> 00:48:12,37 you know ordinance some sort of surveillance and these facilities as 511 00:48:12,38 --> 00:48:18,20 a requirement want to. Do with. Maybe. 512 00:48:19,48 --> 00:48:24,65 Any any regulation has any regulation has to be reasonable regulation here. 513 00:48:27,26 --> 00:48:32,20 I would say probably yes but we would love to see review that and that we can work 514 00:48:32,21 --> 00:48:34,01 with we could use that in the ordinance. 515 00:48:38,99 --> 00:48:44,94 Just to be clear so in. Your opinion that we could create an ordinance that would 516 00:48:44,95 --> 00:48:50,22 go back and really he's risking small Russian army here I mean absolutely on 517 00:48:50,36 --> 00:48:53,84 a high for a man and make them from 518 00:48:53,85 --> 00:48:59,28 a construction higher than us here think you're talking about. I mean it seems 519 00:48:59,40 --> 00:49:03,86 really hard to believe from the standpoint of your hearing operating I mean no I'm 520 00:49:03,87 --> 00:49:05,99 sorry no we were justified as 521 00:49:06,00 --> 00:49:12,97 a general police power regulation of. Zoning ordinances when someone's using 522 00:49:12,98 --> 00:49:17,80 the land you're right it's not for me Usenet's Weisel is only words without like 523 00:49:17,93 --> 00:49:23,59 the Congress but there have been cases of polling various types of both. 524 00:49:25,19 --> 00:49:30,73 Of the woods. Store St Paul regulation for instance signage is there's one thing I 525 00:49:30,74 --> 00:49:36,48 could think of I know that. In the past week the five new site provisions to exist 526 00:49:36,49 --> 00:49:42,76 are signs of those of the just avoid as they wish regulations. Were holes say well 527 00:49:42,82 --> 00:49:48,79 were reasons because of the price not just the layout use but the other aspects of 528 00:49:48,80 --> 00:49:54,98 the operation of the general public. I'm just thinking about mitigation. 529 00:49:56,22 --> 00:50:02,60 Seventy plus off whatever. And geishas it is to stream 530 00:50:03,14 --> 00:50:10,12 or even difficult it's. Not sanctioned be done but the consideration I 531 00:50:10,13 --> 00:50:16,89 think needs to be taken into account. Which we have 532 00:50:17,42 --> 00:50:24,41 come here. On. Many cooperations Internet T.V. 533 00:50:24,58 --> 00:50:31,23 When I. Found here inspection and how they are just. Painted 534 00:50:31,72 --> 00:50:37,76 is selling so clearly they're fairly calm right now someone stopping buying them 535 00:50:37,80 --> 00:50:44,32 silly as they do need out and letting us and others that go for those two more 536 00:50:44,48 --> 00:50:51,15 hours or is there any way to. Right the wrong thing by switching. 537 00:50:52,20 --> 00:50:59,11 Her. I don't know the answer the door from the police to where the address of their 538 00:50:59,12 --> 00:51:04,38 working we feel they have offered for us to come in their name and in 539 00:51:04,39 --> 00:51:10,11 a couple of levels we did go away into our military and we have found violations so 540 00:51:10,12 --> 00:51:13,69 we've really taken a course of action Joe what you're saying is 541 00:51:13,70 --> 00:51:17,72 a very do go if you look at the law of the marketplace you can have 542 00:51:17,79 --> 00:51:22,21 a hard drive material been Haven't you just do the math it doesn't really wait 543 00:51:22,70 --> 00:51:22,92 there's 544 00:51:22,93 --> 00:51:28,63 a lot of these players you can get up to for cold. Year Zero and so on and if you 545 00:51:28,64 --> 00:51:33,55 have five patients I mean a lot of marijuana so. Players are doing 546 00:51:33,56 --> 00:51:36,00 a good go live to have all injured and then 547 00:51:36,01 --> 00:51:40,32 a few that have shut the door on us and. Then the next step in the process is to 548 00:51:40,33 --> 00:51:41,99 get a search warrant that's the there's 549 00:51:42,00 --> 00:51:47,86 a whole nother have. The other commonality need his 550 00:51:48,83 --> 00:51:55,36 own. Hearing Michael I thought was also on. Our 551 00:51:55,40 --> 00:52:01,78 master he would have written you should we decide to. Come out with some sort of 552 00:52:01,79 --> 00:52:08,40 regulation. And licensing or comments or 553 00:52:08,41 --> 00:52:13,98 even say surveillance because the same. Persons right to privacy to medical 554 00:52:13,99 --> 00:52:19,99 conditions so. That that's another fact they want to consider should we should they 555 00:52:20,00 --> 00:52:26,89 go down. In history when. This is 556 00:52:27,40 --> 00:52:29,40 so the surveillance aspect is 557 00:52:29,41 --> 00:52:33,16 a good point but the surveillance aspect of it we're talking specifically grow 558 00:52:33,17 --> 00:52:36,57 operations there should be any retailer tip of situations in 559 00:52:36,58 --> 00:52:43,33 a grow operation correct. Patients who are very carriers carrying the 560 00:52:43,34 --> 00:52:46,82 nation your patients you're given somehow disclose this and name 561 00:52:46,83 --> 00:52:49,80 a book of the patient. Or there could be 562 00:52:49,81 --> 00:52:56,77 a privacy issue with the laws. All the information that caregivers 563 00:52:57,46 --> 00:53:02,91 and patients share with the states now it is confidential. In fact when we have 564 00:53:02,92 --> 00:53:07,83 cases of our medical marijuana we can't get information regarding the people who 565 00:53:07,89 --> 00:53:10,53 apply for where a woman cards unless they actually give us 566 00:53:10,54 --> 00:53:13,19 a release so it's so there's already 567 00:53:13,20 --> 00:53:17,49 a lot of privacy considerations it's just it's all of course that's critical to 568 00:53:17,57 --> 00:53:23,99 call for more of the area where the I am with this is the fact that you know just 569 00:53:24,00 --> 00:53:27,48 about anybody in your medical marijuana card right. When they really need or don't 570 00:53:27,49 --> 00:53:31,37 need it is the state I thought I saw something on one of the slides in the state 571 00:53:31,86 --> 00:53:36,15 trying to tighten that aspect up there trying to create 572 00:53:36,16 --> 00:53:42,33 a registry that would allow. More horsepower you took 573 00:53:42,34 --> 00:53:48,67 a ration actually as the cars. Were actually is 574 00:53:48,68 --> 00:53:53,38 a fear of death so yes they are the new trucking archosaur to work towards that 575 00:53:53,39 --> 00:53:59,43 it's really better idea of. Who they should start but it has to be world 576 00:53:59,49 --> 00:54:06,49 a law enforcement purpose to get that. If I could. Easily and I 577 00:54:06,50 --> 00:54:11,98 am on the news. Concerning discussing more at that point. 578 00:54:13,21 --> 00:54:18,57 Close to seven o'clock AM warning him an opportunity for some and he some public 579 00:54:18,58 --> 00:54:25,57 comment here if we don't get to everyone. At the segments when we go into our 580 00:54:25,85 --> 00:54:32,80 town council meeting go will be an opportunity to speak. There also so we don't get 581 00:54:32,81 --> 00:54:39,41 to everybody here. We will give you an opportunity speak at the regular city 582 00:54:39,42 --> 00:54:44,09 council. Though is it OK if we move to public comment and if there's any more 583 00:54:44,10 --> 00:54:50,50 discussion you can have it on the weekend I. Can tell I see 584 00:54:50,51 --> 00:54:56,95 a show of hands who wants to speak this evening on the side of two three four were 585 00:54:56,95 --> 00:55:01,15 . OK that's not too bad but. 586 00:55:04,05 --> 00:55:07,62 If you could try going to three minutes we would appreciate it was there when you 587 00:55:07,63 --> 00:55:12,31 serve you can just give your name I'll also basically will order or use 588 00:55:12,32 --> 00:55:18,83 a microphone please be sure. My name is SO I CAN know I'm not 589 00:55:19,52 --> 00:55:23,98 on time trial resumes and I want to come here to show my support for law 590 00:55:23,99 --> 00:55:28,68 enforcement here it creates. On four spent in this community I want to make sure 591 00:55:28,69 --> 00:55:35,06 that we give them the tools and opportunity to. To regulate to 592 00:55:35,57 --> 00:55:41,40 monitor to enforce the things that need to be enforced they've they do 593 00:55:41,41 --> 00:55:47,57 a great job their plate is for you for my own personal opinion is we don't need to 594 00:55:47,58 --> 00:55:53,32 add something more on to their plate and potentially bear the cost of that as well 595 00:55:53,33 --> 00:55:54,99 as a community have 596 00:55:55,00 --> 00:56:01,36 a sixteen year old daughter. I don't want this kind of activity in the 597 00:56:01,37 --> 00:56:08,27 neighborhood but one of the benefits of being intro is low crime. I'd 598 00:56:08,28 --> 00:56:14,26 like to see if keep it that way so in terms of my own personal rights let's work 599 00:56:14,27 --> 00:56:20,53 from that. You can see if you see me. 600 00:56:23,67 --> 00:56:26,85 Good evening everyone I mean some more since and I just wanted to make 601 00:56:26,86 --> 00:56:30,82 a couple comments I don't know if you are aware but the average age of 602 00:56:30,83 --> 00:56:35,86 a medical marijuana card holder is like mid thirty's and it's a white male with 603 00:56:35,87 --> 00:56:39,70 a history of substance abuse I also wanted to make 604 00:56:39,71 --> 00:56:44,32 a comment something similar to Ed Pennington mentioned you know I've attended the 605 00:56:44,33 --> 00:56:50,24 city council meetings I've heard residents be concerned about storage facilities 606 00:56:50,25 --> 00:56:55,57 and apartment complexes so how are they going to act in regards to growth in their 607 00:56:55,58 --> 00:57:01,64 neighborhood we want to ride on lessons from information from Colorado and they do 608 00:57:01,65 --> 00:57:08,43 have they have had an increase in crime in drug driving we are also finding 609 00:57:08,47 --> 00:57:13,55 out that amount to cities in Colorado they have more dispensary since Starbucks and 610 00:57:13,56 --> 00:57:18,97 McDonald's and of course I think you are now I am for the prevention of drug and 611 00:57:18,98 --> 00:57:23,78 alcohol abuse so I would like. To. Thank you. 612 00:57:26,54 --> 00:57:29,98 Yes or no. You just wonder why you. 613 00:57:33,55 --> 00:57:39,69 Think My name is Michael Starr. Our attorney the bills area and I represent the 614 00:57:39,70 --> 00:57:45,45 house of roll this century always try to. Raise. 615 00:57:47,56 --> 00:57:53,66 Cultivation operations in the city of of Troy under the patient care you persist on 616 00:57:54,26 --> 00:57:59,34 and I apologize I missed some of what you had said earlier but I respectfully 617 00:57:59,35 --> 00:58:05,18 disagree with your analysis on allowing patient care giver right now if. It does 618 00:58:05,19 --> 00:58:09,80 show Saturday I believe them. Medical Marijuana Act you can prevent someone from 619 00:58:09,81 --> 00:58:16,21 growing for themselves in their home but that doesn't mean that you can not you can 620 00:58:16,45 --> 00:58:20,70 you know that you can allow them you can not you can print out not to grow in an 621 00:58:20,71 --> 00:58:23,61 industrial or commercial setting so to speak which 622 00:58:23,62 --> 00:58:26,41 a lot of other cities have done Troy made the decision 623 00:58:26,42 --> 00:58:32,03 a long time ago to give business permits for individuals to do this or for people 624 00:58:32,04 --> 00:58:34,70 to do this here now you have I think I miss 625 00:58:34,71 --> 00:58:38,35 a total of seventy two or something is that what it was seventy places already 626 00:58:38,36 --> 00:58:42,92 existing that have obtained the business permits here and now you guys are almost 627 00:58:42,93 --> 00:58:46,29 trying to look backward to see what you can do to regulate those it should have 628 00:58:46,30 --> 00:58:50,44 been in session you should have said we don't we're not allow you to grow in 629 00:58:50,45 --> 00:58:53,93 a commercial setting you can grow your house because half of the men you know you 630 00:58:53,94 --> 00:58:55,50 don't want to step on people so as 631 00:58:55,51 --> 00:58:59,06 a medical marijuana happened that would only provide for them to grow their twelve 632 00:58:59,07 --> 00:59:01,69 plants in their house you guys allowed it in 633 00:59:01,70 --> 00:59:06,56 a commercial setting you had people to send them on the community to do that in the 634 00:59:06,57 --> 00:59:11,62 business setting and now I believe you cited if you try to impose significant 635 00:59:11,63 --> 00:59:16,56 regulation or regulation on them now you're going to face off fierce backlash from 636 00:59:16,57 --> 00:59:21,74 the from the individuals that currently operate these I dove again I probably have 637 00:59:21,86 --> 00:59:22,54 represented 638 00:59:22,55 --> 00:59:27,07 a handful of them but I know that these are what is being discussed here today is 639 00:59:27,08 --> 00:59:32,13 going to lead to significant fallout when you have seventy property owners that are 640 00:59:32,14 --> 00:59:35,06 not going to have people that are going to have problem with their leases these are 641 00:59:35,07 --> 00:59:40,11 people that have set up to do it on the commercial licensing system because 642 00:59:40,12 --> 00:59:41,58 obviously one would assume that if 643 00:59:41,59 --> 00:59:47,11 a city allows you to grow right now I guess you would assume that they would opt 644 00:59:47,12 --> 00:59:51,72 into the state licensing and that may be an incorrect assumption but certainly 645 00:59:51,73 --> 00:59:53,27 you're more likely to allow it in 646 00:59:53,28 --> 01:00:00,12 a city that is allowing patient care giver growing up for sale right now. So I 647 01:00:00,13 --> 01:00:01,07 think that you're really going to have 648 01:00:01,08 --> 01:00:04,89 a problem going back and trying to regulate the ones that are already happy isn't 649 01:00:04,90 --> 01:00:11,45 permits but I think you. The analysis is backward on this the under the stroller 650 01:00:11,46 --> 01:00:16,56 under the state licensing system the regulations in place are ten times what they 651 01:00:16,57 --> 01:00:20,89 are right now for patient caregivers patient caregivers all they need is 652 01:00:20,90 --> 01:00:25,37 a business permit anyone can go in and get that under the state licensing system 653 01:00:25,73 --> 01:00:26,06 you're 654 01:00:26,07 --> 01:00:29,84 a heavily bad I mean you can't have anything I don't know if you guys discussed it 655 01:00:29,85 --> 01:00:35,16 but you can't have any felonies you have to prove your business viability you have 656 01:00:35,17 --> 01:00:40,21 to have good moral character and you have to get approval from the state so the 657 01:00:40,22 --> 01:00:45,24 state licensing gives you all the regulation on your security system to everything 658 01:00:45,25 --> 01:00:46,90 it takes care of everything worse 659 01:00:46,91 --> 01:00:51,91 a patient caregiver system there's there's the oversight I think which should be 660 01:00:51,92 --> 01:00:56,18 strongly considering is opting in under the state license exist on and looking to 661 01:00:56,19 --> 01:01:01,53 see what you can do to kind of run to what you did with the with the patient 662 01:01:01,54 --> 01:01:06,32 caregiver system again I don't know what can be done talking to that but the state 663 01:01:06,33 --> 01:01:11,48 licensing system is it's only people that can go in there are true professionals 664 01:01:11,68 --> 01:01:16,49 you have to have the financial resources even be able to do it so those individual 665 01:01:16,50 --> 01:01:20,48 next year it's going to be crime and this is that's it's total nonsense all it's 666 01:01:20,49 --> 01:01:24,15 going to bring are people that don't have records those are the only people that 667 01:01:24,16 --> 01:01:26,59 can get that license and if you work at 668 01:01:26,60 --> 01:01:31,35 a hospital for two or night it clearly lays out what the requirements are to be 669 01:01:31,36 --> 01:01:35,16 able to even apply for that license so the regulation under that is going to be 670 01:01:35,17 --> 01:01:40,45 smaller stringent than it is liberal licenses and just make one more point and I'm 671 01:01:40,46 --> 01:01:46,18 sorry if you could use one yeah I will Mr Anderson to say that you know I don't 672 01:01:46,19 --> 01:01:51,19 think that you want someone interfering with your relationship with your doctor and 673 01:01:51,20 --> 01:01:53,22 neither do I if my doctor writes me 674 01:01:53,23 --> 01:01:57,48 a prescription for medical marijuana of the outside world has recognized that I 675 01:01:57,49 --> 01:01:58,20 have a right to have 676 01:01:58,21 --> 01:02:01,98 a relationship with my doctor if your problem is that too many people are getting 677 01:02:01,99 --> 01:02:05,80 licenses and your problem is with the initial positions but to say that there are 678 01:02:05,81 --> 01:02:08,65 people that have cars. I don't have it now you're challenging 679 01:02:08,66 --> 01:02:12,29 a doctor's opinion and I don't think anybody wants anyone else challenging the 680 01:02:12,30 --> 01:02:12,77 opinion of 681 01:02:12,78 --> 01:02:29,65 a doctor between their personal relationship thanks guys think. Yes or. No 682 01:02:29,74 --> 01:02:33,71 I mean your guy from a business or also a caregiver of property or 683 01:02:33,72 --> 01:02:40,21 a city of Troy which riseth been documenting those days was pretty dangerous drug 684 01:02:40,22 --> 01:02:40,59 point 685 01:02:41,11 --> 01:02:44,93 a couple things that I think he probably had to not be as well as it is that the 686 01:02:44,94 --> 01:02:51,65 seventy two playing out all right tell the doctor under. So almost operations 687 01:02:51,66 --> 01:02:55,00 a night's sleep will get bitched out just just by 688 01:02:55,01 --> 01:03:01,08 a full process that's always faster than selfhood not transfer visitors or she was 689 01:03:01,09 --> 01:03:07,24 the tree just. Buildings the freedom and the city is the freedom to decide what 690 01:03:07,25 --> 01:03:12,21 they want the media want what they want. Those the see like this like he said or 691 01:03:12,22 --> 01:03:14,01 it's going to be like getting this is not 692 01:03:14,02 --> 01:03:20,19 a pretty Joe's in view of the license and he said he would do the. Only BREAK IT IS 693 01:03:20,20 --> 01:03:24,81 THERE WERE I'd like to see him with joy rather than actual I'm not sure of the best 694 01:03:24,82 --> 01:03:29,40 right or wrong but from my understanding of the one craving to immerse silly every 695 01:03:29,41 --> 01:03:33,15 commercial facility that I know of has heroes everything is recorded when something 696 01:03:33,16 --> 01:03:37,23 does happen it is reported missing in one grid in 697 01:03:37,24 --> 01:03:41,45 a commercial facility so far.
